Just got my wheel the other day.  I'm in for Saturday nights.  Later (like 9EST) is better for me.

I should be able to make 8 o'clock most of the time though

I'd be up for this if it were a different time.   Saturday at 7pm my time places it right in the middle of when my wife usually has something scheduled for me.

 Are we tuning on these cars or running default? I've ran a 1:21.119 at Stadplatz with no tune,except Aero and brakes. What rim size are you using for the rear? I'm on 17 inch right now. I tried to paint it but they have really screwed the panel alignment on this car,well the McLaren anyway. I chose the McLaren over the Ferrari since the Ferrari is such an LB car. Plus I prefer the look of the McLaren. May still try to paint something,just cant get anal about super detail,which sucks!

Yes, tune cars.Iput hole shot rims on my car bumped it up to 900 . Put 15's on the back took it to899.I painted mine as close to the 70's indy cars i could i like those cars.I found several web sites that have pictures of Foyt's gilmore car, Donohue, Penske Sunoco and others.You can paint it any way you like.If this happens i plan on saving replays and  posting them on turn 10 and 2o4f if possibleI i would like your racing number on the car. I will be on tonight around 7 est. if anyone wants to join.

Hey, I have to ask, are the collision physics reasonably close on these as they are open wheel? As in, if you tangle em up, do they toss each other around due to the rotation of the tires as opposed to a panel to panel collision?

Also, aero repair, do they put anew wing on, and if so, is it painted?

They will surprize you. As you know i like guard rails and walls lol.They will bounce off and not hard to recover for me. If you change wing it will need painted. I hope this helped.
